Actor Joseph-Gordon Levitt is a sort of unconventional Hollywood leading man, endearing himself to filmgoers on the strength of his occasional quirks — popping up in a YouTube video with (500) Days of Summer co-star Zooey Deschanel for a New Years Eve serenade, for instance — in addition to his strength as an actor. (It helps that he’s easy on the eyes, too, of course.) So it seemed fitting on Tuesday night in Toronto that the director of Don Jon, screening at TIFF, barely made it to his film’s premiere, and was caught making a mad dash onto the red carpet.

Gordon-Levitt arrived looking dapper in a slim, black suit and plaid top with on-trend skinny tie — and if he broke a sweat after hitting a light jon on the Don Jon red carpet, he barely showed it (if at all).

The actor was joined on the red carpet by his co-star Scarlett Johansson, who arrived — on time! — in a simple black tube dress.

Don Jon, a romantic comedy about a playboy with an addiction to pornography (played by Gordon-Levitt) who tries to set out on a more even path after meeting the girl of his dreams (Scarlett Johansson), is Gordon-Levitt’s feature-length directorial debut. The film, which has been making the festival rounds, is currently sitting at a 90% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
